Seeing Fakis' hypocritical face, Perseus turned pale with anger and his voice trembled, "Someone, punish this vicious woman on the spot!"
But the guards remained motionless as if they hadn't heard. The Queen had been building up her power for a long time. It would be good if she could be overthrown, but if she couldn't be overthrown, then any guard who dared to take action would be punished by the Nine Clan.
Seeing Long Yan's rage, all the ministers knelt down one after another, their voices surprisingly unanimous.
"Your Majesty, you absolutely must not do this."
"Your Majesty, don't listen to the villain's slander."
"Your Majesty, the queen and mother are the pillars of the country. Once the pillars are shaken, the foundation of the country will be unstable."
"Your Majesty, the country is in crisis at this time, and the deposed soldiers will inevitably feel chilled."
"His Majesty"
"That's enough!" The angry Perseus overturned the table and pointed his fingers like dry firewood at His Highness's kneeling ministers, "Do you, your slaves, still have me as the King of the Sea in your eyes?
"
"Ahem!" As he coughed, Perseus's body trembled violently. When he wiped it with a handkerchief, he actually coughed up a pool of blood.
"You bastards, are you guards deaf? I'll let you execute this witch on the spot!"
The guards were in a dilemma. It was neither right for them to take action nor not to take action at this time.
"Your Majesty, calm down and keep the dragon body."
"His Majesty"
The ministers were still doing Tai Chi with Perseus. Faqis stood proudly in the main hall with a smile of victory on her face. She bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty is ill. Please return to the palace to rest early.
Let me leave the matter to my concubine."
"Someone, come and take His Majesty back to the palace."
When Fakis said this, the two maids next to the throne immediately went to help Perseus.
Perseus was so angry that he pushed a maid over, "Which one of you dares to help me!?"
The maids were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt down and were at a loss. If they helped Perseus, they would offend the Poseidon. If they didn't, Faqis would definitely kill them.
"Your Majesty, please return to the palace." Prime Minister Hughes knelt down and said.
"Your Majesty, please return to the palace." The ministers of the Snake-haired clan knelt down and begged.
"You guys!" Perseus was furious, holding the table with both hands, his body emaciated and shaky due to illness.
At this moment, the guard at the door announced, "His Royal Highness has arrived!"
A young man strode in from outside the palace. He was holding a golden trident, wearing a black cloak, and blue crystal armor. The exquisite equipment matched his handsome appearance, and he looked majestic.
Seeing her son, the smile on Faqis's face grew stronger. She had already won this battle.
Roger entered the center of the hall with his head held high, and behind him was Bollun, the deputy commander of the Naga Royal Guard. Although Borlun was not a legendary hero, his strength ranked first among all the second-level strong men in the kingdom.
With the appearance of Borron, more than 20 guards from the Serpent clan followed closely into the hall. They were fully armed, and the sound of the clashing of messy armor could be heard. The halberds in their hands were pointed at Pearl on the throne.
Hughes.
The sudden appearance of more than 20 fully armed soldiers stunned the officials. A tense atmosphere suddenly filled the ocean. What did Roger want to do?
This sudden turn of events was unexpected even by Faqis. She just asked Hughes to send someone to notify Roger to bring the army, but she didn't let him march the army into the hall.
Borren is the commander of the 700 Naga royal guards outside the hall. Without his approval, how could the snake-haired guards directly under Roger enter the fully blocked hall.
At this time, the main hall was surrounded by seven hundred Naga royal guards, and their commander Borron openly supported Roger. Once Roger rebelled, then
Realizing this, all the ministers were in cold sweat, and their swords and guns were blind. In a real fight, no one could be sure to be pulled over and become the victim of the struggle for the throne...
As long as that group of Naga guards charge once, the upper-level rulers of the kingdom will have to reshuffle their cards.
When the new emperor Roger takes office, he needs to cultivate his cronies. So will he take this opportunity to let the Naga guards "accidentally kill" some people they don't like, and then appoint his cronies to serve?
For a moment, the hall was eerily quiet. People could even hear their own heartbeats clearly. Even the ministers of the snake-haired clan were a little panicked. Roger's action this time was too sudden.
Perseus pressed his hands on the table, supporting his old body, and his dirty eyes showed deep sadness. He never expected that he who had been in charge of the eternal whirlpool and dominated the world for hundreds of years would end up like this when he was old.
"My son, I will meet my father." Roger knelt down and saluted, and Borren also bowed.
Perseus let out a heavy breath and left the throne. Because he lost support, his body swayed. The maid next to him wanted to come over to help him, but he stopped him with his eyes.
"Roger, are you here to kill me today?"
"I don't dare."
Perseus slowly walked down the steps along the water. He was like an old lion. Although he was old and frail, his momentum was still the same. "Very well, Roger, you have always been the best of all my sons, no matter how courageous it is."
Whether it’s courage, strength or ambition, I hate your mother but I admire you very much.”
Perseus' tone was slow and low. He walked up to Roger who was kneeling and looked down at him.
"I gave you your trident. I gave you your azure armor. I gave you your position as prince. I didn't expect you to use them today to force me to give up my position."
Roger raised his head without being humble or arrogant, and looked at Perseus with his sharp eyes without hesitation, "Father, you forced me to do what I did today. Medusa invaded, and I was fighting to the death outside, but the imperial court
"But you want to deprive me of my position as crown prince and deprive me of my military power because of her -" Roger pointed his trident at Siren fiercely, "a prisoner who has been in prison for many years just said something."
Chilling!?"
Perseus sneered, "Don't you know why Siren was imprisoned? Isn't it fair to Siren that you don't ask your mother what means she used?"
Roger stood up calmly. His tall and tall figure like a javelin was a head taller than Perseus, "Father! I have been practicing since I was sensible. I have been practicing for thirty years. When others are playing, I
I dived into the dark abyss alone to hunt monsters. While others were sleeping, I studied the art of war, strategy, power, and martial arts under the light. I worked ten times as hard as ordinary people, and I experienced several narrow escapes. All of this was
It’s for the throne!”
"After thirty years of hard work, all my efforts were in vain just because of the preference of fate. Is this fair?"
"There is no fairness in the struggle for the throne, so I can only use unfair means to win those things that only belong to the strong. Seven years ago, I won once. Now, I don't want to fall short because of a little girl!"
"I keep telling myself that I was born for the throne, I will lead the Naga clan to prosperity, and I will leave the most brilliant mark in the history books!"
"Father, I swear that I will do better than your other children. I swear that I will lead the Naga tribe to unify the ocean within a hundred years!"
Perseus closed his old eyes and shook his head feebly, "Son, you don't understand."
"What don't I understand? I understand everything! Yes, my mother used dishonorable means, but when has the change of royal power not been accompanied by bloodshed and dirty intrigues? The tragic fate of a girl in the long history of history
It's just a small wave, fleeting, not even qualified to be recorded in history books. Even Queen Azshara, when she faced the temptation of magic, didn't she succumb to the Dark Titan Sargeras? For the Burning Legion
Open the teleportation circle of the Well of Eternity?”….
Perseus turned around, leaving Roger with a gray-haired back, "You don't understand history and you don't understand kingship."
Roger laughed loudly, "Father! What is royal power? Since ancient times, the emperor has become a king and defeated the enemy. Which founding emperor has not stepped on countless withered bones at his feet? One general has achieved thousands of withered bones. This is royal power! As for history, it is only the power of those in power.
Hymn! If I grasp the royal power, then I will be history!"
Roger suddenly raised his trident, pointing the golden tip directly at the throne, "Father, please give up the throne!"
Following Roger's sonorous words, more than twenty Gorgon warriors knelt down together with Bollun, the deputy commander of the Naga royal guard, "Your Majesty, please pass on the throne."
Perseus looked at Borron, his wrinkled eyes becoming more and more gloomy, "Borron, I treat you well. I promoted you from a small guard to your current position and gave you the best skills and equipment."
I didn’t expect you to turn against me today.”
"Your Majesty." Bollen kept his head lowered, "I am not rebelling against you today, but I am admonishing you."
"Time is merciless. You are indeed getting old. The Naga Kingdom needs a young strong man to lead it. Your Majesty, I am here today just to advise you to abdicate."
"What if I don't retreat? Will you lead the seven hundred Naga warriors outside the hall to kill me?"
"Your Majesty, why bother? I know you are unwilling to accept it, but wasn't it the same when you inherited the throne of the late emperor?"
"Do you still remember how I climbed to the position I am today? More than a hundred years ago, I was just a personal guard beside you. You were the twelfth prince at that time. The late emperor was old, the crown prince was not yet established, and there were thirty-six princes and princesses.
We fought openly and secretly, and at the final and fiercest moment of the competition, Princess Seventeen led the troops into your palace. I used my body to help you block an arrow. So over the years, you have placed your trust in me, and I gradually gained the status I have today.
.”
"But now, Your Majesty, you are old and are really not suitable to take charge of the Naga clan, especially now that the country is facing a crisis and war is about to break out."
When Bollun said this, a female voice suddenly interrupted, "His Majesty is old. Not only is he not suitable to rule the Naga clan, he is also not suitable to be your backer. So you have to find a new master, right? Quite a lot.
Character"
Borren frowned and looked around. It was Siren who was speaking. She had been sitting upright with no expression on her face.
"After Prince Roger ascends the throne, he will also grow old one day. So at that time, will the scene today also happen? Maybe General Bollen will support one of Roger's sons or daughters or something.
He led an army into the palace and repeated today's words, saying that 'Your Majesty' is old and no longer suitable to be in charge of the Naga clan. Please ask 'Your Majesty' to abdicate."
Borren's voice faltered, and he opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out.
Siren smiled slightly and continued: "General Borren, don't you realize that with your current strength as a second-level powerhouse, the position of deputy commander of the Naga Royal Guard is already the pinnacle of your career.
The positions of commander of the six armies, commander of the royal guard, and marshal all require legendary heroes to be qualified. If you break this rule, it will be difficult to convince the public."
"Then what are you trying to rebel with Roger? If Roger loses, it goes without saying what will happen to you. If Roger wins, your status will not rise with it. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to convince the public, but it will also turn out to be the opposite.
His great achievements have shaken the Lord, and he is suspected of threatening the royal power!"
Bollan looked a little ugly when Siren said something. He knew that Siren was trying to sow discord between him and Prince Roger, but he could not refute.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Roger held the trident and clapped his hands, "You are so eloquent, my sister. Although I have not seen you much, the fact that you forced me to rebel as a fugitive criminal is enough to win my admiration and respect.
, What a pity, it’s really a pity. If you were not my enemy, I would definitely try my best to marry you. No matter if you are my sister or not, you are calm, wise, and beautiful, and you have an air of purity and nobility.
Inviolable temperament, you are so perfect that I really can’t bear to destroy you.”….
"I really like you. If you become the queen, you will definitely be my best helper. Are you willing? To be my wife?"
When Roger said this, the officials present looked a little unnatural. His brother proposed to his sister in front of so many people.
Siren smiled and pointed at Roger's hand, "The movements on your left hand mean that you have guessed my answer? It's quite a few words."
Roger sighed and shook his head, revealing his left hand. An ice flower like a white chrysanthemum bloomed in the palm of his hand. "It's a pity that your perfection is destined that you will not give in. Then I can only destroy you with my own hands to prevent some ordinary people from blaspheming you."
Holy!"
Roger raised his hand, "This is my favorite frost coral. It is a skill obtained by the evolution of Frost Star. I will dye this white ice crystal red with your blood and keep it as a permanent souvenir."
Roger was about to take action when a siren suddenly sounded in the east of the city. The expressions of the officials present changed. It was an enemy attack!
At this time, there is only one person who will attack and dare to attack the palace - Medusa!
Roger looked at the Siren suddenly, with murderous intent in his eyes. Regardless of whether Medusa's appearance at this time was related to the Siren or not, he must kill the Siren as soon as possible to avoid future troubles!
Roger shouted, and the ice chrysanthemum bloomed in his hand, the star of frost!
Siren is just a weak woman with zero experience, but Roger is a first-level strongman. With such a huge level gap, once they fight, they will definitely be killed in one blow.
A cold light flashed through, but the expected blood did not appear. The ice crystals turned into powder, like dreamy stars, falling into the void and disappearing.
Roger was shocked, what? The hall was surrounded by seven hundred Naga royal guards. Who could come in under such circumstances?
Siren slowly stood up and stretched out her delicate hands. Between her hands, a bright sapphire shone brightly.
A deep dragon roar suddenly sounded in the hall, and a pair of blue light wings appeared out of thin air behind Siren. A faint dragon's neck snaked around Siren's body, blocking Roger and Siren.
Suddenly, it was the one that blocked Roger's frost coral just now.
Roger's pupils shrank, "Dragon's blood?"
Dragon's Blood is a contract between the dragon clan and the snake-haired clan. It can summon an energy dragon to assist in combat. The magic dragon level is level three, but because its duration is limited, its actual combat power is slightly worse than level three.
.
Not to mention that this energy dragon is not yet at the third level. Even if it does reach the third level, it is no match for the group of guards in the hall. There are twenty or thirty elite guards who are good at control skills, plus the second-level peak Bollun and a group of guards.
The super strong Roger, these powers are enough to kill a legendary hero.
What's more, there are seven hundred naga guards outside the main hall!
"Sister, I really admire you. You have used the sacred object of my snake-haired clan to this extent. First, you designated the dragon's blood as a bargaining chip to paralyze my mother, making her think that you handed over the Lincoln Stone just for the dragon's blood.
, he easily told the past seven years ago and asked you to record it."
"Then during the trial in the main hall, the dragon's blood became your evidence, which made my mother's lies self-defeating."
"And now it has become your means of protection, killing three birds with one stone. My mother and I are completely under your control."
"What a pity! It's not enough to have dragon's blood as your trump card! Even if Medusa is yours, she won't be able to get here, and even if she can get here, she won't have time to save you!"
"Before this, I have enough time to kill you!"
Roger threw away the ice crystal, shook out the trident in his hand, and pointed at the Siren's jade neck.
At this time, a guard's announcement suddenly came from outside the door, "Report! Medusa has appeared in the east corner of the city. General Slada has requested the recruitment of 700 guards guarding the main hall to go for reinforcements!"
"Don't go!" Roger said firmly. If he went, he would fall into the Siren's trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Roger would not forget that there was an even more terrifying man beside Medusa, the seven hundred Naga royal guards.
It's his last trump card.
The messenger almost thought he heard wrongly. Roger actually dared to disobey General Slada's order?
"His Royal Highness, this is the transfer order personally issued by General Slada."
"Noisy!" Roger frowned, waved his trident, and with the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the water, the head of the messenger fell to the ground, and the blood that flowed out dyed the sea water red.
Looking at the head floating freely in the water, the faces of all the ministers present turned pale.
Roger took back his trident and said to Borren: "Without my order, all royal guards are not allowed to leave the hall for even half a step. Anyone who disobeys the order will be executed!"
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
He looked at Siren again and said to the Gorgon guards behind him: "Use the ice arrow to control the energy dragon! No one is allowed to attack Princess Siren, I will kill her myself."
"Got the order!" Twenty or thirty Serpentine guards uniformly put away their halberds and bows, and the ice arrows were ready to go!
